[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1029131, member: 10086"] There’s nothing wrong with that approach (in general) as far as I’m concerned. Although on a build up to a SuperBowl Run there’s going to have to be a balanced approach to acquiring players not only based on ceiling.. but also based on floor. Naturally if you feel your team is 1-2 players away on each squad from a Championship? You balance more experienced and emphasize players who possess leadership qualities. I think we all know HISTORY repeats itself so that can be helpful to use what’s worked in the past. I am NOT implying the Packers have done anything wrong. What I’m getting at is my hope is we use ALL the tools available. I see very similar similarities to that 2009 timeframe. We traded up hard in the draft for a component that would single handed change the dynamic of our new Defensive scheme (sound familiar?) It actually worked!! After 2009 was MM reforming the Defensive Coaching culture.. very similar to this season. Dom Capers came in and the scheme was changed and announced we’d be more a hybrid D. Those were exciting times and that excitement poured over to the players and fans. We took an aggressive approach that season because we clearly saw… we had our QB. That draft trade up move for a perfect fit LB was integral to the success of the next several seasons. It doesn’t HAVE to be LB, that’s not the point either. It can be anyone who will take their position group to another level. Get 1 in FA and then keep our foot on the gas. Use a 3rd Rounder (in some capacity) to move up into that top 20 if deemed necessary. Don’t play “prevent” FA or “prevent” Draft philosophy this is not business as usual. This is business as exceptional. Supplement with typical bargains… but use FA AND Draft in an atypical approach is my hope. [/QUOTE]
